the search option.

Tried to find a band video, and there's a bunch of stuff with the same name but none of it where from a band.

Triend to search autolux and sorted by date to see if there's some new uploads of old shows and all i get is auto luxury cars :picard:

tried to find a full movie and then are 5,034,234 of videos of it, but it just a link for some kind of click spam bots

it's that i'm getting old, or perhaps i'm not so cool by robot/spiders/search engines standards

imagine in 3 years what a pain it will be, when you want to watch something and had to spend 4 hours clicking next

I haven't had any problems like this unless it's just something that uses pretty common words/phrases. :idk:

Yep. If I search for my exact channel name it doesn't turn up on the first page but other crap does.

That happens if it's a smaller channel such as mine (more gear than talent), but do a search for "nano POG" and my video comes up (apparently not many demos dedicated to this pedal).

YouTube has always sucked.

It just sucks more now.

Yeah, happens to my vids too, but I still think it's odd when I search for that exact search term, and none of the higher rated hits include that exact term.

I think we're at the point where search results for Google and YouTube are less about relevancy for the searcher
and more about selling shit.
